Abstract

Abstract : Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute medium vessel vasculitis manifesting with mucocutaneous lesions and cardiac complications especially coronary artery lesions (CALs). Inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate 3-kinase C (ITPKC ) gene polymorphisms are have been shown to be associated with susceptibility to KD and CAL. Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ITPKC gene with KD and CAL in Indian children. Methods: Two SNPs of the ITPKC gene (rs28493229 and rs2290692) were studied in 50 cases of KD and 50 healthy controls. The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from test subjects and controls were analysed for the two polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies were compared in different groups. A meta-analysis was also performed for the CC and GG genotype of both SNPs of interest. Results: No significant differences were found in frequencies of C allele, CC genotype and C carriers of rs28493229 and rs2290692. Combined CG+GG genotype frequency of rs2290692 was found to be significantly associated with susceptibility of KD (95% Confidence interval (CI) = 1.38-13.83, p = 0.015). A meta-analysis did not show a significant association of SNP rs28493229 (Odds ratio = 1.46, CI = 0.96-2.23) and rs2290692 (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.663-1.731) of ITPKC and susceptibility to KD. Conclusion: Combined CG+GG genotype of SNP rs2290692 at 3' UTR of the ITPKC gene was found to be significantly associated with susceptibility to KD. Our study did not show a significant association of any allele or genotype with susceptibility to KD. The meta-analysis combining our study with previous studies on these 2 SNPs also failed to show a significant association of different genotypes and susceptibility of KD.
